Classic architectural details such as substantial baseboards and window casings complement the updated interior throughout. Located on Orange Street in New Haven, CT, this single-floor residence offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms with a cohesive blend of classic and contemporary design elements. Dark hardwood floors run throughout the home, providing a rich, warm foundation that contrasts with the bright white walls and crisp crown molding visible in the main living areas.

The open living space flows naturally toward the kitchen, which is defined by a structural column and features rich wood-grain upper cabinetry, light stone countertops, a tile backsplash, a stainless steel sink, and stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher and microwave. Recessed lighting keeps the kitchen well-illuminated.

The bedrooms are generously sized, each outfitted with dark hardwood floors, white walls, and closets with built-in rods for organized storage. One bedroom benefits from a large window that invites natural light and street views.

Both bathrooms share a consistent design language, featuring large-format marble-look wall tiles, mosaic tile walk-in showers with open entries, matte black fixtures and hardware, wood-toned vanities, and vessel-style sinks. The overall ambiance of the home is clean, modern, and move-in ready.
